Kimi tops the timesheet however it was Lewis who shone. Fastest times for most teams were on the ultra softs however Mercedes times were done on the soft compound.
Massa crashed early in the session and the damage will require a new chassis due to a hole in the safety cell. Talk was that it could possibly make FP2 however the rules are the rules and the car will not be re-scrutineered until Saturday.

Massa took no part in this session.
Red Bull have been using different set ups on each of their cars. Verstappen has been using a more conventional set up however Ricciardo is using the Monza rear wing which gives his car good speed in sectors 1 and 3 but is much slower through sector 2. We will see what they come out with on Saturday.

The rain came near the end of the session bringing the contest to an end. Some teams did venture out in the wet conditions as a test.

Palmer also picked up a 5 place grid penalty to see him start from 14th on the grid.
This resultant 4 place penalty is because Vandoorne's penalty was applied after the application of Palmer's penalty allowing him to move up 1 grid position..
